CARE Program

What is CARE?

CARE, which stands for Continuous Assessment and Responsive Engagement, is a faculty-led initiative aimed at establishing a systematic process
for identifying and supporting struggling students. In other words, CARE represents
an Early Alert System at Valencia.

Through the LifeMap Early Alert and Intervention (LFMP 3348) faculty development course, participants will learn about Valencia’s early alert
approach, which focuses on student and faculty interactions. The course will improve
student learning by developing faculty sensitivity to academic and non-academic needs
within their classes. Faculty will learn various resources available to support their
students’ needs. They will have the opportunity to develop early alert strategies
to improve student learning. With increased awareness of student support resources
and practice with human-led early alert strategies, faculty will be better equipped
to develop responsive approaches to learning within their classes.
